Weight of 35" Spare Tire on Tailgate

Any issues with running a 35" spare on the tailgate tire carrier?

Takes a little more effort to slam the tailgate shut but other then that no issues. everyone running 315's has a 35" spare.

That's good to hear because on my Wrangler there were issues with the tailgate hinges buckling and the tailgate sagging due to the weight of the 35's...

I have had a 315 on my spare carrier for a year now and no probs at all. Looks really good on the back and have had several comments on how good it looks.
